Torpedo Weapons Recovery Vessel

There was an interesting ship here during the recent blow. She was a torpedo weapons recovery vessel or TWR. I have never seen her here before and had no idea what she was used for. After consulting with Captain Tobey Leske and Captain Blair Perkins, I learned what she was and what her mission is.

Here are a few pictures of her as she was tied to the east face of Stright Wharf-

About Me

I was born and raised on Nantucket. I cannot remember a day when I did not go down to the waterfront to see what was going on. My very first boat was an old mortar box that I would row with a piece of wood! I currently dredge for bay scallops during the winter months. This season was my 30th year scalloping. I also run my own product application business and home caretaking business.
